Course description and aims

The fundamental concepts are:
Riemann-Roch theorem, Serre duality, canonical model, Hodge decomposition, Torelli theorem
Solve the Exercises presented in the lecture

Student learning outcomes

We will study the basic theory of complex algebraic curves. There are two main topics: (1) the Hodge decomposition of the cohomology, which leads to the Jacobian, the Abel-Jacobi map and the Torelli theorem; and (2) the canonical model which studied using the cohomology of line bundles. These two topics are closely related by the Gauss map of Abel-Jacobi image.

Keywords
